Orange County-Florida, Clerk of Courts eFiling Milestone
Case Initiation with 135 Defendants is Received by Clerk of Court and Automatically Updates Case Management System
OREM, Utah and ORLANDO, Florida – April 19, 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tybera Development Group, a leader in electronic filing solutions for courts, attorneys, and government agencies, today announced that its installation in the Orange County Florida Clerk of Courts-Complex Business Litigation Division received a case initiation electronically from a local attorney which listed 135 defendants.
All 135 defendants were entered by the attorney using the eFlex Filer’s Interface, not the clerk. The defendants along with party information and client relationships were then automatically updated into the case management system (CMS). The case was initiated electronically and then briefly reviewed by the clerk who accepted it into the system without manual data entry.
This event demonstrates the ability of Tybera’s efiling technology to tightly integrate with a court’s CMS to accomplish complex case initiation, automatically updating the CMS and save clerks the time they normally spend entering data.
Dallas Powell, president of Tybera notes, “The National Center for State Courts once introduced the concept of a ‘one click’ review process where a clerk would be able to review efiling data and then click once to submit it. Most efiling systems still require the clerk to have two screens up, the efiling screen and the CMS screen, to complete a task,” said Mr. Powell. “This really is the goal most courts are striving for—the efiling system communicating with the CMS, generating a new case, and populating this data automatically—we’re doing this in Orange County as well as other installations,” said Mr. Powell.
The OCCC continues to promote use of the system as well as plan for the addition of other jurisdictions.
About Tybera
Tybera’s eFlex allows attorneys to use MS Word or WordPerfect to submit civil, criminal or juvenile court filings electronically. It is built on recommendations published by COSCA/NCSC, using the LegalXML/ECF-v1.1 proposal. eFilings are secured for document integrity, long term evidence protection and authentication with optional support for digital signatures. The court controls the collection of filing fees which are communicated to the CMS automatically and then reported back to the court accounting system and clerk’s daily journal. Clerk review procedures can be automated or configured for manual intervention. Auto-conversion to PDF and TIFF with the ability to apply court seals, digitized signatures, and date & time stamp can be included as well.
